I heard she is paid 15 Million a Year, and that she refused to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement and NIKE caved as they considered her too important to not sign and publicly revealed all the details of her contract.
Source a friend heard it from a co worker who heard it at a pizza restaurant who heard it from his 10 year old's best friends, cousin, who heard it from a classmate who won the first grade jog athon at his school.
How do YOU do it? Post after post, thread after thread, day after day, week after week, year after year accusing athletes of doping. I've never seen anyone so obsessive about anything. You probably have over a dozen posts in this thread alone. Not saying anything new. Just repeating what you've already said over and over and over again.
Surely, you must be taking something to have such extraordinary stamina to make tens of thousands of posts accusing athletes of doping. What is it? Caffeine? Something stronger?
It obviously has your attention. So that's a start.
You have our attention like stepping on a dog turd has our attention. Apparently, you enjoy being a clown and a dog turd. Good on you, Crusty.
How are people getting under 47.6 in the final from that semi? She eased with around 20-30m to go. She said herself. So it was worth 48.1. But she went for it for the first 370m+.
So where is she getting that extra half a second from?
She ran a 49.41 heat and a 48.29 semi. I predict between 47.9 - 48.1 in the final...with Naser in the same ballpark.
Note in the semis, Naser (23.09) & Paulino (23.17) ran faster opening 200s than Sydney (23.43) . But Sydney ran a significantly faster 3rd 100m. In the final I think Naser will go out in sub 23, and she will push the 3rd 100m much harder. It will be down to Sydney whether she follows suit, and this could mean she ties up more at the end. Paulino will be forced to go out hard because of her lane, but she doesn't look quite at her best, and if she slows down expect Anning or AN Other to overtake her.
Love her. Hate her. Think what you will. But you've got to admit that was damned impressive. The final will be one on the highlights of the meet.
How could anyone actually hate SML?
Understandable for divisive athletes like Lyles, love him or hate him, but SML has always been professional, humble and kind plus she has been incredible for a decade
